Geraldine Carson says
My name is Geraldine Carson and I have just found this web site listing defenders of the Siege of Bexar. Five of my direct ancestors were members of Captain James Chester’s volunteers from the Jasper area. All five are so recognized and have their names listed on the Alamo Plaque. Only one of these having a biography under this website is Stephen Williams, Sr. What needs to be done to have the other four also included? I would be glad to write a biography of these four which include Stephen Williams Jr., Samuel Ralph, Gorham May, and Barnabus Lowe. Please reply to my inquiry.
